I just got this message today and I must say it gave me a fright. Brendan, who must be about 21 by now, sent this out when he was 16, in January of 1997! And we thought snail mail was slow...

This morning I birded the Montlake fill for about an
hour. Much of the usual birds were there but I got a few suprises too. As
I walked in from C.U.H. I heard a Lincoln's Sparrow singing and spotted it
on top of a tree, a good bird. Later on at what I believe is called Dime
Pond, (where the Palm Warbler frequented), I heard a Virginia Rail right off
the path and watched it walk out of the grasses along the edge of the pond.
I watched it for about 15 minutes and had great looks the whole time. After
a bit it slunk back into the reeds but not after it called a few times.
There was no Peregrine Falcon today, but the rail totally made up for it.
Good Birding,
Brendan McGarry
